How to…Change the World. To learn a little something about me, you should know that I am EXTREMELY ambitious and very competitive. I would be categorized as a “type A” personality and with that has come a ton of challenges. I am never satisfied. When I was 19 I wrote a list of 100 things to do before I died. I have accomplished many of them but looking back I see some of them and I wonder if they are really possible. One check box was to make a million dollars by age 24. At the time the real estate market was amazing and I was inline to get my realtor license, then the market crashed and well that one hasn’t happened, not even close. The biggest thing on the list was to change the world. As I think about being 27 years old and looking at my life, I wonder what that even means. I want to do it, I just don’t know how. Changing the world with what, design, motherhood, my talents, becoming an awesome blogger, doing world changing service…the list could go on and on. Maybe I wasn’t meant to be the world changing designer, but being average is so dissatisfying. So I guess my teaching you “how to” is more like asking “how to”. I am at a weird point in my life and I refuse to live another 8 years and feel the same way. I need good advice and a little direction. In order to lift my spirits and of course never give up, I have decided to start reading more inspiring and creative books that build me up and cause me to think. Thankfully through the support and equal ambition of my husband maybe we can some day Change the World in a way that is satisfying to us. Below is a short list of what is going on in my life.
READING: The Giver by Lois Lowry. This is such a great, easy read. It’s short and really makes you reflect on your life and the great blessings you have been given. The movie is also coming out soon and I am hoping it’s as inspiring as the 1993 classic.
EATING: A ton of pineapple and tropical fruit. It has a ton of sugar but it’s so sweet and is helping me kick my intense candy habit.
DESIGNING: Well I am really feeling black and white with pops of pink. Like any shade of pink, its all lovely.
WATCHING: Shark Tank! Holla, yes I loooove business and I love entrepreneur anything. Creative people are in every industry and I am always amazed at the ideas people come up with.
WEARING: Well I am trying to wear summer clothes but its still too cold here so my best options are some high waisted skinny jeans and little ankle boots with any leather jacket I can find.
LISTENING TO: A whole load of this guy Asgeir. My favorite song is Higher but I love King and Cross and In the Silence.
